IFE Bluetooth Scanning with Time-Divided BLE and BR/EDR Discovery

The patent applies local quality by making the advertising behavior context-dependent. BLE advertising is selectively enabled or disabled based on the specific environment (narrow space with many devices vs. open space). The system adjusts advertising properties locally according to environmental conditions, allowing device discovery when appropriate while avoiding disruptions in crowded environments.

The patent implements dynamics by making the advertising state changeable based on environmental context. The system dynamically switches between advertising and non-advertising states depending on whether the environment is detected as crowded or open. This dynamic adjustment allows the system to adapt its behavior to current conditions, resolving the contradiction between discovery capability and user convenience.

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the device scanning process into separate time intervals. Instead of simultaneously scanning for both BLE and BR/EDR devices, the system segments the scanning operations temporally, performing BLE scanning during one interval and BR/EDR scanning during another. This segmentation maintains connection versatility while reducing system complexity by avoiding concurrent scanning operations.

The patent implements periodic action by alternating between BLE and BR/EDR scanning in periodic time intervals. The system periodically switches between different scanning modes, ensuring both types of devices can be discovered over time while avoiding the complexity of simultaneous scanning. This periodic approach maintains versatility through repeated cycles of both scanning types.
